As an organization which mobilizes volunteers for many other organizations through our Retired & Senior Volunteer Program, we looked for a special way to say thank you to in-house volunteers who provide leadership, training or support to those who serve other groups. At this week's event, we hired (at greatly reduced cost - and the promise of pro bono next time!) a licensed massage therapist to give each one a chair-massage. That was our "hands on" thank you and they were surprised and rejuvenated by the gesture. (Please keep in mind -- there are those who do not want a stranger touching them. For those people we had discount coupons for other personal services.)
